Again, finding the right balance within your diet and not eating them to excess is essential, otherwise you may find yourself gaining weight and becoming unhealthy.

Finally, fruit and vegetables are an important factor in a healthy diet, and are the group to which you should pay the most attention.

Try to include fruit or vegetables in every meal you have, and you will certainly feel the benefit.

What about my favourite foods?

This may seem like a lot to take in, and the idea of having to limit the foods which you most enjoy can be daunting.

Try to remember however, that your favourite treats are not banned. In fact, they are just as important to the balance of your diet as the other foods, only that you need to restrain yourself from eating too many of them and upsetting the balance.

If you stay within this frame of mind you will be well on your way to maintaining a healthy diet.
